The first large scale Space Construction Company designed to build any structure in space quickly and with precision.

Our long term goal is to create a powerful space construction industry able to complete any sized projects ranging from LEO to lunar orbit. Orbital Assembly will become a buyer of space construction equipment from engineering firms all over the world producing machines and tools designed for Space: Fabrication, Assembly and Construction (FAC).

In 2021, announced the opening of its new production facility in Fontana, California that will develop the technologies and structures to build the world’s first space hotel with lunar levels of gravity between the Earth and the moon. The company is progressing towards its first mission launch deadline scheduled for 2023 and will begin a new round of financing in May 2021 via Net Capital to raise $7 million.

Orbital Assembly Corporation (OAC), the only company advancing the development and operation of the first commercially viable, space-based business park with gravity, is partnering with the 100 Year Starship initiative, seed-funded by DARPA, founded and led former astronaut Dr. Mae Jemison.

In 2022, Micro Meat, a pioneer in the alternative protein industry, and Orbital Assembly (OA), developer of space-based business parks with variable gravity, have signed a memorandum of understanding to co-develop cultivated meat production systems in space. Under the agreement, Micro Meat will install its proprietary meat production equipment aboard OA’s Pioneer-classTM space station to provide food for space station personnel. The Pioneer-classTM stations are the world’s first and largest hybrid space stations for both work and play and will be the first free-flying, habitable, privately-operated facility in orbit. The project will give Micro Meat the opportunity to enhance the efficiency of its production process and make it more of a scalable protein production system on earth.

In December 2022, Orbital Assembly (OA), a leader in the race to make Hybrid-Gravity™ space accessible for leisure, commercial and industrial activities has announced a new equity offering (Regulation CF).

Above: Orbital Will Launch its Proprietary Materials to the International Space Station MISSE-19 in March to Conduct Experiments and Materials Tests, 2024-02-20

In March 2024, the SpaceX Cargo Dragon completed liftoff and separation on its way to dock with the International Space Station with our MISSE materials and other cargo on board.

Archimedes

The Archimedes program gets its name from the Greek mathematician and engineer who, among other well-known scientific and mathematical accomplishments, theorized that the power of the sun could be harnessed as one of the most valuable tools and formidable forces man might ever wield. We feel he was 2,311 years ahead of his time.

The Archimedes program is designed to be the first rapidly deployable, free-flying on-orbit platform serving as an orbital system for:
